ON EQUIVARIANT TRIANGULATED CATEGORIES ALEXEY ELAGIN Abstract. Consider a finite group G acting on a triangulated category T . In this paper we investigate triangulated structure on the category T G of G-equivariant objects in T . We prove (under some technical conditions) that such structure exists. Supposed that an action on T is induced by a DG-action on some DG-enhancement of T , we construct a DG-enhancement of T G. Also, we show that the relation “to be an equivariant category with respect to a finite abelian group action” is symmetric on idempotent complete additive categories. 1. Introduction Triangulated categories became very popular in algebra, geometry and topology in last decades. In algebraic geometry, they arise as derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties or stacks. It turned out that some geometry of varieties can be under- stood well through their derived categories and homological algebra of these categories. Therefore it is always interesting and important to understand how different geometrical operations, constructions, relations look like on the derived category side. In this paper we are interested in autoequivalences of derived categories or, more gen- eral, in group actions on triangulated categories. For X an algebraic variety, there are “expected” autoequivalences of Db(coh(X)) which are induced by automorphisms of X or by tensoring into line bundles on X. If X is a smooth Fano or if KX is ample, essentially that is all: Bondal and Orlov have shown in [6] that for smooth irreducible projective b variety X with KX or −KX ample all autoequivalences of D (coh(X)) are generated by automorphisms of X, twists into line bundles on X and translations. -
Classification of Subcategories in Abelian Categories and Triangulated Categories
CLASSIFICATION OF SUBCATEGORIES IN ABELIAN CATEGORIES AND TRIANGULATED CATEGORIES ATHESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN MATHEMATICS UNIVERSITY OF REGINA By Yong Liu Regina, Saskatchewan September 2016 c Copyright 2016: Yong Liu UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Yong Liu, candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, has presented a thesis titled, Classification of Subcategories in Abelian Categories and Triangulated Categories, in an oral examination held on September 8, 2016. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Henning Krause, University of Bielefeld Supervisor: Dr. Donald Stanley, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: Dr. Allen Herman, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: *Dr. Fernando Szechtman, Department of Mathematics and Statistics Committee Member: Dr. Yiyu Yao, Department of Computer Science Chair of Defense: Dr. Renata Raina-Fulton, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry *Not present at defense Abstract Two approaches for classifying subcategories of a category are given. We examine the class of Serre subcategories in an abelian category as our first target, using the concepts of monoform objects and the associated atom spectrum [13]. Then we generalize this idea to give a classification of nullity classes in an abelian category, using premonoform objects instead to form a new spectrum so that there is a bijection between the collection of nullity classes and that of closed and extension closed subsets of the spectrum. -
Non-Exactness of Direct Products of Quasi-Coherent Sheaves
Documenta Math. 2037 Non-Exactness of Direct Products of Quasi-Coherent Sheaves Ryo Kanda Received: March 19, 2019 Revised: September 4, 2019 Communicated by Henning Krause Abstract. For a noetherian scheme that has an ample family of invertible sheaves, we prove that direct products in the category of quasi-coherent sheaves are not exact unless the scheme is affine. This result can especially be applied to all quasi-projective schemes over commutative noetherian rings. The main tools of the proof are the Gabriel-Popescu embedding and Roos’ characterization of Grothendieck categories satisfying Ab6 and Ab4*. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14F05 (Primary), 18E20, 16D90, 16W50, 13C60 (Secondary) Keywords and Phrases: Quasi-coherent sheaf, divisorial scheme, invertible sheaf, direct product, Gabriel-Popescu embedding, Grothendieck category Contents 1 Introduction 2038 Acknowledgments 2039 2 Gabriel-Popescu embedding and Roos’ theorem 2039 2.1 Preliminaries ............................2039 2.2 Gabriel-Popescu embedding ....................2043 2.3 Roos’ theorem ...........................2045 3 Divisorial noetherian schemes 2047 References 2054 Documenta Mathematica 24 (2019) 2037–2056 2038 Ryo Kanda 1 Introduction The class of Grothendieck categories is a large framework that includes • the category Mod R of right modules over a ring R, • the category QCoh X of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme X, and • the category of sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space. One of the significant properties of Mod R for rings R among Grothendieck categories is the exactness of direct products, which is known as Grothendieck’s condition Ab4*. This is immediately verified by direct computation, but it is also a consequence of the fact that Mod R has enough projectives. -
N-Quasi-Abelian Categories Vs N-Tilting Torsion Pairs 3
N-QUASI-ABELIAN CATEGORIES VS N-TILTING TORSION PAIRS WITH AN APPLICATION TO FLOPS OF HIGHER RELATIVE DIMENSION LUISA FIOROT Abstract. It is a well established fact that the notions of quasi-abelian cate- gories and tilting torsion pairs are equivalent. This equivalence fits in a wider picture including tilting pairs of t-structures. Firstly, we extend this picture into a hierarchy of n-quasi-abelian categories and n-tilting torsion classes. We prove that any n-quasi-abelian category E admits a “derived” category D(E) endowed with a n-tilting pair of t-structures such that the respective hearts are derived equivalent. Secondly, we describe the hearts of these t-structures as quotient categories of coherent functors, generalizing Auslander’s Formula. Thirdly, we apply our results to Bridgeland’s theory of perverse coherent sheaves for flop contractions. In Bridgeland’s work, the relative dimension 1 assumption guaranteed that f∗-acyclic coherent sheaves form a 1-tilting torsion class, whose associated heart is derived equivalent to D(Y ). We generalize this theorem to relative dimension 2. Contents Introduction 1 1. 1-tilting torsion classes 3 2. n-Tilting Theorem 7 3. 2-tilting torsion classes 9 4.

On the Voevodsky Motive of the Moduli Space of Higgs Bundles on a Curve
ON THE VOEVODSKY MOTIVE OF THE MODULI SPACE OF HIGGS BUNDLES ON A CURVE VICTORIA HOSKINS AND SIMON PEPIN LEHALLEUR Abstract We study the motive of the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve C over a field k under the assumption that C has a rational point. We show this motive is contained in the thick tensor subcategory of Voevodsky's triangulated category of motives with rational coefficients generated by the motive of C. Moreover, over a field of characteristic zero, we prove a motivic non-abelian Hodge correspondence: the integral motives of the Higgs and de Rham moduli spaces are isomorphic. Contents 1.

Noncommutative Stacks
Noncommutative Stacks Introduction One of the purposes of this work is to introduce a noncommutative analogue of Artin’s and Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks in the most natural and sufficiently general way. We start with quasi-coherent modules on fibered categories, then define stacks and prestacks. We define formally smooth, formally unramified, and formally ´etale cartesian functors. This provides us with enough tools to extend to stacks the glueing formalism we developed in [KR3] for presheaves and sheaves of sets. Quasi-coherent presheaves and sheaves on a fibered category. Quasi-coherent sheaves on geometric (i.e. locally ringed topological) spaces were in- troduced in fifties. The notion of quasi-coherent modules was extended in an obvious way to ringed sites and toposes at the moment the latter appeared (in SGA), but it was not used much in this generality. Recently, the subject was revisited by D. Orlov in his work on quasi-coherent sheaves in commutative an noncommutative geometry [Or] and by G. Laumon an L. Moret-Bailly in their book on algebraic stacks [LM-B]. Slightly generalizing [R4], we associate with any functor F (regarded as a category over a category) the category of ’quasi-coherent presheaves’ on F (otherwise called ’quasi- coherent presheaves of modules’ or simply ’quasi-coherent modules’) and study some basic properties of this correspondence in the case when the functor defines a fibered category. Imitating [Gir], we define the quasi-topology of 1-descent (or simply ’descent’) and the quasi-topology of 2-descent (or ’effective descent’) on the base of a fibered category (i.e. -

Thus one has the work of Edwards and Hastings [7] and the author [27,28,29] on extending a «model category for homotopy theory » a la Quillen [35] from a category C , usually the category of simplicial sets or of chain complexes over some ring, to give a homotopy theory or homo- topical algebra in pro(C) .

Groups and Categories
\chap04" 2009/2/27 i i page 65 i i 4 GROUPS AND CATEGORIES This chapter is devoted to some of the various connections between groups and categories. If you already know the basic group theory covered here, then this will give you some insight into the categorical constructions we have learned so far; and if you do not know it yet, then you will learn it now as an application of category theory. We will focus on three different aspects of the relationship between categories and groups: 1. groups in a category, 2. the category of groups, 3. groups as categories. 4.1 Groups in a category As we have already seen, the notion of a group arises as an abstraction of the automorphisms of an object. In a specific, concrete case, a group G may thus consist of certain arrows g : X ! X for some object X in a category C, G ⊆ HomC(X; X) But the abstract group concept can also be described directly as an object in a category, equipped with a certain structure. This more subtle notion of a \group in a category" also proves to be quite useful. Let C be a category with finite products. The notion of a group in C essentially generalizes the usual notion of a group in Sets. Definition 4.1. A group in C consists of objects and arrows as so: m i G × G - G G 6 u 1 i i i i \chap04" 2009/2/27 i i page 66 66 GROUPSANDCATEGORIES i i satisfying the following conditions: 1. -

An abelian category with coproducts or equivalently, a cocomplete abelian cate- gory. Ab5. Ab3-category, in which for any directed family {Ai}i∈I of subobjects of an arbi- trary object X and for any subobject B of X the following relation holds: (X Ai) ∩ B = X(Ai ∩ B) i∈I i∈I 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 18E, 16D. 2 GRIGORY GARKUSHA Ab5-categories possessing a family of generators are called Grothendieck categories. They constitute a natural extension of the class of module categories, with which they share a great number of important properties.
